The Eurasian Century: Hot Wars, Cold Wars, and the Making of the Modern World

內容簡介

內容簡介 【《外交政策》2025年最受矚目新書之一】揭開歐亞世紀真相洞悉全球新一輪權力博弈一套迫切且深刻的新框架，幫助我們理解當前與中國、俄羅斯、伊朗衝突的根源與利害關係。我們常將現代視為「美國力量的時代」，但實際上，我們正處於一個漫長且充滿暴力的「歐亞世紀」。這塊龐大且資源豐富的陸地擁有全球大部分人口、工業實力與潛在軍事力量，四面環海，是無可匹敵的戰略寶地——這也是為何世界多次因爭奪這片超級大陸而陷入動盪、改變甚至瀕臨毀滅。自 20 世紀初以來，威廉二世統治下的德國到蘇聯等專制強權，一直試圖掌控全球戰略心臟地帶以實現霸權。而海洋強國——英國與美國——則竭力維護民主，藉由維持歐亞大陸的力量平衡以保障世界安全。如今，美國與中國、俄羅斯、伊朗的對抗，正是這場地緣政治博弈的最新一輪。若這個「新專制軸心」成功推動徹底改寫的國際秩序，美國與其他民主國家將陷入脆弱與不安的處境。全球事務權威哈爾．布蘭茲（Hal Brands）主張，深入理解歐亞的戰略地理，能揭示當前世界競爭與衝突的輪廓。《歐亞世紀》(暫譯)闡述了科技與戰爭的革命，以及充滿毒性征服意識形態的崛起，如何使歐亞成為 20 世紀地緣政治的中心，並對 21 世紀將決定全球走向的重大角力提出迫切的啟示。One of Foreign Policy's Most Anticipated Books of 2025An urgent and incisive new framework for understanding the origins―and stakes―of global conflict with China, Russia, and Iran.We often think of the modern era as the age of American power. In reality, we’re living in a long, violent Eurasian century. That giant, resource-rich landmass possesses the bulk of the global population, industrial might, and potential military power; it touches all four of the great oceans. Eurasia is a strategic prize without equal―which is why the world has been roiled, reshaped, and nearly destroyed by clashes over the supercontinent.Since the early twentieth century, autocratic powers―from Germany under Kaiser Wilhelm II to the Soviet Union―have aspired for dominance by seizing commanding positions in the world’s strategic heartland. Offshore sea powers, namely the United Kingdom and America, have sought to make the world safe for democracy by keeping Eurasia in balance. America’s rivalries with China, Russia, and Iran are the next round in this geopolitical game. If this new authoritarian axis succeeds in enacting a radically revised international order, America and other democracies will be vulnerable and insecure.Hal Brands, a renowned expert on global affairs, argues that a better understanding of Eurasia’s strategic geography can illuminate the contours of rivalry and conflict in today’s world. The Eurasian Century explains how revolutions in technology and warfare, and the rise of toxic ideologies of conquest, made Eurasia the center of twentieth-century geopolitics―with pressing implications for the struggles that will define the twenty-first.
